The Final Beginning

Can’t you see
that the chains can break
and set you free
Through all the harsh words and pain
that strangled my spirit,
I still love you.
You’re confined and lost
Give Christ a chance,
give Him your all.
He’s there to catch you
every time you fall.
He never leaves and He weeps for our
pain and our defeats.
He wants to take you by the hand,
guide us to the desires of our hearts,
our dreams.
He’s a good God
He’s always there.
In the midst of our trials,
our pain,
our despair.
He’s so close
so tangible.
Ever since I came to know Him
I’m finally able to say
I’m able.
I sound phony and crazy, I get it.
But notice how I’m joyful living life
empty handed.
My heart doesn’t long for temporary happiness,
contrary.
It longs to please the One who gave me
a purpose.
This life here is of a blink of an eye
Don’t live life to live life and just die.
Mom, when Jesus is present,
things will start changing.
Our God is mysterious,
But still present whilst waiting.
This isn’t me trying to sell some false hope,
but I want to preach the good truth I came to know.
I appreciate you more than you’re aware,
And I’m not as bad as you may think I am,
I swear.
I know I’m not perfect,
I’m so far from it.
But through the love of God,
His grace and His mercy truly  hit.
Your words
they really hurt.
They carve through my skin,
and beats my spirit in the dirt.
The anger and pain you feel overflows.
The excess that remains stabs the next person you know.
I’m not an enemy
I love you
And I know you do too
Even if it’s skewed.
I forgive you and I love through
through the midst of this storm.
Our God is a good God,
He knitted me in your womb
before I was born.  
Please don’t shut me down,
open your ears!
Don’t roll your eyes if I shed a tear.
For God has blessed me more than I am aware
He is jealous for you.
Give Him a chance, just                                                                                                                                                                 open your heart.
This can be the final beginning,
a brand new, fresh start.
Disregard the pain that developed
long ago,
And I promise
He will intervene
And fill every single empty hole.

Interpreting True Joy

Joy is our inheritance... What does that mean? Biblical joy is often misunderstood to be strictly a feeling; while there is no doubt that living for Jesus has plenty of feel-good times, believers are guaranteed just as many hard times.  Maintaining a hopeful outlook despite the situation is where authentic joy from Christ is met.   Joy is our reminder that God cares for us even in seemingly small events.  I believe our sincere pursuit of His good plan for us in those miniscule moments is where His authentic joy is met.  Jeremiah 29:13 reads, "you will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart."   While we can't control precisely how each day is going to turn out, we have the power to choose how we ought to perceive certain things. --- “We know we can either look at the glass half full or the glass half empty… but how about recognizing that the glass is full of water or it's full of air; regardless it's full of something!” - Un...

It's okay to be scared

My heart stings more and more each time my husband receives a call to go to another Covid-19 cleaning job.  We live in one of the higher risk areas and that worry of him contracting something and bringing it home is a daily dose of anxiety within itself.  Like for many other people, this has become our new reality and for myself, has me exercising the authenticity of my faith in Jesus more than ever. All of our situations are different right now; some of you are employed but are still required to go out and risk contracting the virus while some of you are unemployed but are safe at home.  Some of you are blessed to work from home but have loved ones that are at high risk across the country.  Some of you suffer from a mental illness that makes this situation heavier on your mental health while others have physical ailments that puts you at risk even more. We're living in a really dark time right now and it's scary.  Although we can find a list of positives fr...

To the Person Having a Hard Time Moving Forward

Just like what the title states; that was me for the longest time.  I messed up countless times.  Repeatedly.  Over and over and over.  Heck, I still mess up like it is my job.  Being that person who seemed to make mistakes left and right, I found it very difficult to move forward with my life.  I had a difficult time trying to forgive myself.  Yeah, yeah I know the "make mistakes, learn from them, build your character" saying.  But to be frank, that didn't minister to me that well.  I mean, I suppose it did but that was only temporary.  Every time I tried to move forward, something would happen that reminded me of the past and I felt that fresh sense of shame as if it happened that day.  Every time I felt like I took a step forward, I was really taking a huge step back.  For my entire life, I have been going back and forth with no real sense of direction.          I thank God for Jesus. ...
